San Francisco will allow a greater range of activities and remove some operational requirements on open activities as it continues to prepare for full reopening.
On Monday, May 10, the Food and Drug Administration granted Emergency Use Authorization of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for individuals 12 to 15 years old.
Beginning Thursday, May 6, San Francisco will reopen indoor bars, indoor family entertainment activities, outdoor organized community sporting events and indoor saunas and steam rooms, and will loosen guidelines for a range of activities.
Starting April 15, San Francisco will resume indoor live-audience events, performances, meetings, and receptions with capacity limits and following other protocols, and will expand existing guidelines for outdoor live-audience events, performances, and other activities.
Nearly 60% of people 16 and older in San Francisco have received at least one dose of the vaccine. The City is currently vaccinating roughly 12,000 residents per day.
Next Thursday San Francisco will issue formal guidelines to allow live performances, meetings, and other events with capacity limits in indoor settings to begin starting April 15.
Operated in partnership with Excelsior Strong and Latino Task Force, the new vaccination site offers low-barrier access to vaccines in a diverse neighborhood that is home to many essential workers and others at risk of COVID-19
